Screw BF4, DICE and EA

Had Battlefield 4 a little over 48 hours and cannot play the campaign or online longer than 10 minutes without it crashing to desktop with some funky Direct X error. I can however play the "test range" for as long as I want without any problems what so ever but that is so dull and boring.
I knew I should have stuck to my guns and not bought this piece of unworthy, buggy code. Still at least I only paid £15 for it so the damage is minimal.

It is not the first time a DICE game has had major issue, Bad Company 2 was the same and so was BF3 after it but the thing is each time I have had a different computer.

I know your pain mate.
I had it pre-ordered, beta was working but laggy, then when it got released it was continuous error here and there and then for a brief moment I was able to play daily with no errors... Wanted to play a game 3 days ago and I tried twice, game gave me a bull$#@! directx error which is just the $#@!ing game being $#@!. And they $#@!ed up 4 awesome maps (new dlc).

BF4, fun as long as it lasted.
South Park Stick of Truth + Titanfall, here I come.

I have uninstalled it, there was an update today but it made no difference.

The sound positioning is still garbage.
I could hear a helicopter and it sounded like it was above me and behind me slightly, looked up and nothing, left, right, all over the skyline in my vicinity and still nothing, gave up then up it pops from below the roof line I was on, luckily it was a friendly.
Also still cant hear enemy footsteps very well, sometimes its clear as a bell others they are silent. Also the sound completely cuts out from time to time but I think gamers these days use RADAR more than sound to pinpoint where enemies are.

Why are they charging for maps that were in the previous game? all they need to do is a few tweaks here and there then its ready, unlike back to karkand in BF3 which probably had to be rebuilt since it was a much older map from a much older game.

Did you build the computer your self? If you got a custom pc built for you take it back to them and tell them. If they cant fix it then your out of options. Sometimes tweaking the pc will do the trick im not saying your stupid or anything but there are pros.

Well since the DLC released and they also released a patch I can ow play the game longer than 10 minutes without a crash.
I hope we don't have to wait until he next DLC for fixes because whilst the game works without crashing every map or round I play, it still does crash maybe 1 out of 3 games I play, which is still unacceptable.

Did you ever post on the BF forums? The customer service is nothing to write home about, but some of the users may be able to help you, especially if there's someone who had the same issues as you.

It does suck though.

I'm unable to play it at the moment - had to shift Origin and its games to a different game. But now it can't find them. My brother sent me a link, seemed like a pretty involved process to re-set it all up. I'll leave it for him to deal with when he comes over again. WoW/D3 and Steam stuff when shifting folders over to the new drive was an absolute breeze.
